I haven't used any this year and I do part trad part WFP.
I have used it some winters though - jut until the temperature climbs by late morning.
Please note that I've heard it said that anti-freeze can damage car paintwork so I don't use that in case it hurts the frames.  I have used screenwash instead.

I've always found that the scrrenwash that you can buy in somewhere like Halfords works just fine.  If it's very cold though, expect to have to tip a fair bit in with the water.

  A bit of meths in the bottom of a pint glass and filled with coke should see you through the cold mornings.

So when you ignite it, doesn't the red hot coke crack the glass?
